Books True Stories 'I am a survivor. That comes with a survivor's obligation to represent one & half million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis. They cannot speak. So I must speak on their behalf.' Tova Friedman was one of the youngest people to emerge from Auschwitz. After surviving the liquidation of the Jewish ghetto in Central Poland where she lived as a toddler, Tova was four when she & her parents were sent to a Nazi labour camp, & almost six when she & her mother were forced into a packed cattle truck & sent to Auschwitz II, also known as the Birkenau extermination camp, while her father was transported to Dachau. During six months of incarceration in Birkenau, Tova witnessed atrocities that she could never forget, & experienced numerous escapes from death. She is one of a handful of Jews to have entered a gas chamber & lived to tell the tale. As Nazi killing squads roamed Birkenau before abandoning the camp in January 1945, Tova & her mother hid among corpses. After being liberated by the Russians they made their way back to their hometown in Pol&. Eventually Tova's father tracked them down & the family was reunited. In The Daughter of Auschwitz, Tova immortalizes what she saw, to keep the story of the Holocaust alive, at a time when it's in danger of fading from memory. She has used those memories that have shaped her life to honour the victims. Written with award-winning former war reporter Malcolm Brabant, this is an extremely important book. Brabant's meticulous research has helped Tova recall her experiences in searing detail. Together they have painstakingly recreated Tova's extraordinary story about the world's worst ever crime.

By the time he was six years old, Stephen had been bombarded by the Luftwaffe & deported from occupied Guernsey, along with his family, to a prison camp in the heart of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich.

He had seen men die in front of him & walked with Jewish prisoners straight off the cattle-trucks from Bergen- Belsen.

He had nearly drowned, narrowly avoided being savaged by Alsatian guard dogs, been beaten by a pathological member of the SS & had his hand broken by a guard whilst attempting to feed a Russian prisoner.

The family kept going through three & a half years of imprisonment, reinforced by their strong sense of survival & their loving support for each other, before a dramatic & violent liberation by Allied forces ended their ordeal.

Yet when they were eventually returned to Guernsey, it was to find that their tranquil home had been stricken & scarred by Nazi occupation.
